    If more up-loaders just uploaded torrent links, programs like Jdownloader would only be needed for those who only use the filesharing sites you have to pay for (and those download links never last long). Now torrents might have other issues I'm not aware of but from my perspective the community is big enough to always have peer to peer seeding for most downloads. Plus it would probably be able continue downloading after it got hit with DMCA takedown like a bunch of thing on the sister site recently.

    mine works here, i updated today already.

    There is not really an alternative to JD2.

    i recently updated from a JD2 beta version from 2013 (old java version based) to a new version, this really solved my CPU problems i had. Maybe worth a try looking at that.

    Click on help--> About Jdownloader - here you can see which JAVA version you are running. Something Java 17.x should be most recent.

    What is the main diff between Jdownloader and something like IDM?

    JD2 is a updated version for win, macos, linux, NAS, ect... Maybe you'll have better luck with v2.x?

    Im fully updated. Could be my setup. but the chrome extension would click the captcha for me and i could let downloads run all night.

    now its not doing that so its not as "automated" as it used to be

    I guess there were a few folks on other platforms even having issues after some update was applied, not sure about all the particulars of it. I've always used IDM instead of JD. No idea how the two compare but they are similar in their workings I would imagine. Maybe give IDM a try? There's a MACOS version of that as well.

    it could also depend on where you are downloading from. The current version of Jdownloader with a real-debrid account loaded into it, as an example; just bypasses captchas on the commonly used hosting services.

    Folx Download Manager
    Folx is the app equivalent of killing two rabbits with one shot because it is a download manager and a Mac torrent client, both at the same time. It is also a JDownloader equivalent, Mac users reported. With all the features that it has you may think that using Folx may be complicated, but it’s exactly the opposite.

    many years with IDM downloader, now I use Jdownloader because of the need to use "realdebrid" account.
